I can't *absolutely* predict that this week's artists will be using loopers till I see the event - so, sorry if this is OT... THE AMBiENT PiNG http://www.theambientping.com Free - Every Tuesday Night - doors open at 9pm - 1st set at 9:30 @ club nia / C'est What - 19 Church St. at Front St. - Toronto 3 blocks east of the Union Station subway. map - http://www.cestwhat.com/map.html . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . This Tuesday Jan. 14th - Hypnotech 3 & |head|phone|over|tone| Hamilton knobgazer/bedsit duo Hypnotech 3 return to the Ambient Ping for another evening of "ambient pulsebeat". Expanding on their exploration of dance-without-drums, they promise their set will "eerily resemble a mid-70's Tangerine Dream soundtrack to a CIA-funded LSD mind control experiment on astronaut Dave Bowman" - featuring take-offs of songs from both their 2002 "In Tune with the True Distortion" CD and this year's upcoming release, "Prescription Electronics Depth Charge". http://www.mp3.com/hypnotech3 Joining them from Hamilton will be wall-of-sound artists |head|phone|over|tone|, whose twin-guitar aural bliss-out evokes comparisons with 90's post-shoegaze artists such as Windy & Carl, Aarktica or Amp. http://www.mp3.com/hpot Between Sets CD - "The Throne Of Drones" by V/A (Sombient/Asphodel) This is the 1st "ambient noir" collection from Sombient, in a series of three, which the Ping will be featuring throughout 2003. Described as "a nocturnal, less blissful approach to the "chill out" underworld", this compilation features dark ambient luminaries such as Robert Rich, Steve Roach, Jeff Greinke, Biosphere, vidna Obmana and others. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
